I couldn't beat the price I got for a 870 Cranking Amp Yellow top for the Vette.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=50 Auction just close a few days ago and I received it today. Looks great. Best local price for the high number Yellow top with side posts was $185 and tax, this one was $141 to my door. Excellent service; many times Ebay rocks. I fully recommend these guys. I bought a Red Top for the Vette now knowing they are notorious for demanding a lot from a battery (I know that know after searching the Vette forum). It's only 5 months old, and is still good, just doesn't like turning over that car. If anybody locally is interested in a great deal, let me know. I don't have anything else that needs a battery now... sm |

Love those OPTIMA batteries. Went to a swap meet a month ago, and an OPTIMA dealer was there with there display. I spoke with the sales person, he told me that they get "blems" in stock from time to time and they can be purchased for $50.00 each.
So I went over to there store and sure enough $50.00 for a factory blem, last one, The red top was not colored evenly, so they could not sell it at COSTCO or wherever they sell. Check with your local OPTIMA dealer. CCLINBATTERYWORLD |
